Some people go through the motions, doing what they do. Some people feel it, love it, seek it and grow it. Thermal Soundwaves out of New York City call themselves "The natural alternative to Fast Food Radio", and rightfully so. Every Monday 12:00 midnight (Eastern) until the wee hours of Tuesday morning, hosts C. Truth and Kev Lawrence take over the airwaves at WHCR 90.3FM NYC . They have been great champions of my music and always there with a word of encouragement. Of course I had to jump on the track when they told me about "Taken" They wanted to put together a compilation of classic Hiphop beats remixed by the different talent they've had on the show. Inspired by the concept, I wrote "Remember We" riddim talking about all the Hiphop records that shaped my journey. Can you name all the songs I mention? Holler in the comments below.

"Thermal Soundwaves presents: Timeless Beat Jackers" brought to you by the Radio Boys (C.Truth, Kev Lawrence) pays tribute to some of their favorite hip hop beats featuring artists who've appeared on the Thermal Soundwaves Show.
